Cryptography in Java
Cryptography
to maintain and protect the confidentiality of the information when it is transmitted on a communication medium
is the mechanism of encoding information is secret coded form.
keep communications limited and private to only the sender and receiver
enhances the security, authenticity and integrity of the information passed across the communication medium
Cryptography Schemes
The process of cryptography is achieved with the help of encryption algorithm and an encryption key
The encryption algorithm is a mathematical procedure to encrypt or decrypt the data.
Encryption key is the input that encryption algorithm takes
Cryptography Algorithm Types
Secret Key Cryptography (Symmetric) Two entities share the same secret key.
Public Key Cryptography (Asymmetric)
Operates under two different keys.
One is used for encoding, the second for decoding.
Hash Functions (One-way cryptography, Message digests)
Encrypt the information into an irreversible codes.
Need for cryptography
In order to develop a secure database application, cryptography is needed to identify all the possible threats to the application and provide measures to prevent them.
The threats:
Violation of Privacy/confidentiality
Data can be read by an unintended receiver.
Tampering
modifying or deleting a resource without proper access privilege
Spoofing
impersonating the identity of a different user and use it in an unauthorized way
Purpose of Cryptography
Authentication
prevents spoofing by applying the digital signature
Privacy/confidentiality
verifies, prevents unintended receiver from reading the data
Integrity
verifies whether the data received by the receiver is the same data as sent by the sender
Non-repudiation
ensures that a user or a business organization or program entity has performed a transaction
Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA)
JCA is a framework written in Java to access and develop cryptographic functionality, and forms part of the Java security API
Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) extends the underlying architecture of JCA to implement encryption, key exchange
JCA and JCE together provide a complete, platform-independent API.
Design Principles of JCA
JCA was designed to access cryptography and security concepts.
Implementation independence and interoperability.
Algorithm independence and extensibility
Components of JCA
Cryptographic Service Providers
is a package or a set of packages defined by the JCA to implement one or more cryptographic services.
Key Management
manage the library of keys and certificates which in a database called keystore.
KeyStore class in the java.security package
Cryptographic Service
The Service provider classes are also known as Engine classes.
Classes and Interfaces of JCA
Core Engine Classes of JCA
Java Cryptography Extension (JCE)
JCA is a set of packages that form a framework and provides implementations for encryption, key generations and agreement, and Message Authentication Code (MAC) algorithms.
Additional cryptographic libraries can be plugged in.
Java Cryptography Extension APIs
Symmetric block encryption
Symmetric stream encryption
Password-based encryption
Key Agreement
Message Authentication Codes
Packages in JCE
Cipher
is the object capable of performing encryption and decryption as per an encryption algorithm.
is one of core classes from JCE
javax.crypto
Methods of Cipher
getInstance()
init()
update()
doFinal()
getBlockSize()
getAlgorithm()
getProvider()
Password Based encryption (PBE)
generates a secret encryption key based on a password provided by the end user.
is one of core classes from JCE
javax.crypto
Password Based encryption (PBE)
mix in a random number with the password, called the salt
prevent dictionary attacks or pre-computation attacks
PBEParameterSpec Class
SecretKeyFactory Class
Encrypting Data using Passwords
Take the string and create an instance of PBEKeySpec
Use a SecretKeyFactory to produce a SecretKey instance
Generate a random salt
Select an iteration count and create a PBEParameterSpec
Create a Cipher from the SecretKey and PBEParameterSpec
Encrypt the data with the Cipher and write output of the Cipher
